    Do I have to let my insurance company know I intend to tow a caravan?

    Just seen your post, been up at the show. Yes definitely (not sure that's spelt right) even if the towbar is factory fitted. I got quotes from the meerkat and mentioned in passing that I would be towing. They said "no problem" as long as your caravan is less that 21 foot in length. Be careful !!!

    After the recent spate of accidents and fatalities I have just bought and fitted a Co alarm. I mentioned this to my son who is a firefighter and he said only last night he went to a shout where someone had been overcome by Co. He survived luckily !!

    satellite suitcase dish

    I bought a suitcase type from LIDL about 3 years ago. What a waste of time and money.........I did manage to get 1 english channel as long as I held the dish in my hand whilst standing on the step of the caravan, but that was only once!. I gave up after that. I decided to splash out on a dish...

    Brynich Caravan Site

    We live close to Longleat (can hear lions and wolves in the evening). I went to the National Rally there back in the 60's. Be aware that Longleat have employed a new CEO who is out to make money and nothing else. Their pricing structure has changed and it is now very expensive...

    Thetford 250 CWE Pump Replacement

    It's not down to frost, the pumps are faulty. I have a 2009 Challenger 570. All drained down and heated over winter. Used it twice early this year with no problem. Went to use it at Baltic Wharf the other week, no flush. The fuse had blown, replaced that and it still didn't work. The new fuse...

I will...

    Football isn't coming home!

    Great news ! all we need to do now is cancel the Olympics (or get Russia to pay for them) and persuade that pair from London to get hitched at the Kremlin and perhaps then we'll be able to afford a few more (real) coppers and firefighters on our streets
